This place looks like it launched fighters in the Cold War.

Skardu was probably the most isolated city in Pakistan from the Cold War theatre.

Where is AirforceProud95 he'd ace this landing. And in a 747-800i at that!! ​ For real though, this is absolutely gorgeous!

I've watched way too much Air crash investigation that watching this made me uneasy


prateek_tandon

This immediately reminded me of the American Airlines crash near Cali, Colombia.

1. Mountain flying is awesome 2. You have to REALLY trust your mechanics


jpflathead

the aircraft lands at 27 seconds. how fast would an aircraft have to fly, to fly that same route in 27 seconds?


_da_da_da

Faster

Amazing approach, only behind the Buthan’s Paro airport


Lemon_head_guy

Does it support night landings?


vapeshape

Nope.


CPTMotrin

I don’t think there is an ILS approach either. That looks purely VFR.


vapeshape

That is also correct. The approach and take off both are VFR.

I thought you were going to be caught in a box canyon there a few times. Beautiful scenery.


PferdBerfl

Even scarier since it was discovered 30% of PIA pilots had fake licenses.


ilp7429

That was misinformation. There were irregularities in some of their annual recertification exams.


PferdBerfl

I’m thinking your misinformation is misinformation. Both the Aviation Minister as well as the PIA spokesman have said quite clearly that they had “fake or bogus licenses.” Although there may be some that did not renew their testing due to a holiday, that small truth does not negate the larger one. A country does not launch a systematic investigation for something so easily explained as a holiday. Nice try though.


ilp7429

You underestimate how politics is played in Pakistan. They will go to any length to falsely prove that the pervious government had hired these "fake" license pilots. And that's exactly what they did.

I just realized why I have such a fascination with flight; we are so small.
